Dating thread 44

[lubeybooby]

Here we go - all dating chat here!

I meant the text I drafted.

The draft text doesn't sounds a good option for right now. I'd veer away from terse just to ask for more contact and a way to spend just a bit more time together.

Reserve the going crazy one for if he lets you down on that, which I don't see why he would given that he did agree you needed to see each other more that time.

Lubey, I'll see what he comes back with as my last text basically said when am I seeing him next. If as I suspect he says fri after next, or I don't hear anything for a few more days, I will send something along the lines you suggest and I think that will produce better results than mine!

Another one saying you should text him, Velvet, things need to go a little more the way that suits you, and a little less the way the are at the moment, which seems to be all about what suits him.

Ok velvet long as you can handle the waiting. Given how many dates you've had though, I don't see anything wrong or faux pas in letting him know the lack of contact is bothering you and to ask for more along the lines of what I said above. [hug]

Velvet - did you say C lives nearby? If so, can't he just pop in for a short time in the evening now and again, even if he doesn't stay overnight? Just so you get to spend a bit more time together and build on what you've got so far.

I had my first ever no show today - he rang me about 5 minsutes after we were meant to meet and asked me if I was there, and that he had to rush back hime for some kind of emergency - he has mailed me on POF to tell me he will make it up to me next time. I think not!

I met someone else instead - he seems nice enough, but sadly dull, and told me far more than I ever wanted to know about his job and his cold that had him "in a bad way" most of the week. He's been texting lots since but am not sure if it's worth meeting again.

Oh and I have received an email on POF from a man who has put his job down as self employed criminal!!! He says he's had a rough life but is not that bad a man.... I'm finding it hard to resist

Ooh no. Don't send the snippy txt you'd like to send! What lubey said. :)

Nameless is making me a mix tape.

A mix tape

he is SO totally your boyfriend.

:o

splishsplosh what a shame about your no show, that's crap. Don't blame you not giving another chance.

I've decided I've got so much going on in RL at the moment it's really stupid to be on PoF. So hiding my profile again

Still no reply from Mr iPhone about when we can have another date.

I do not understand him at all... buy me a pressie, be dead chuffed that I'm interested when I pounced... then... nowt. I think this is a record for his slow replies so far.

He just told me it contains 15gb of 'noodly-jazz'

I replied ' I could go off of you, you know, tardis boy '

He's totally my bf. he's in denial.

:o

Lubey we've just watched the cats four times!

No idea what mr iPhone is up to but I bet he pops up again soon. He is under the Lubey spell and cannot resist.

Snape it's luuuuuuurve

OWW yay for the cats!

and haha at the Lubey spell, oh I wish...

Well LM has phoned again to see if I'm okay. Have said I'll probably see him tomorrow.

(Btw he is not impressed with his friend at the moment. Quelle dommage).

splish, C does live really near me. My DC are always here in the week though, so the only way he could pop round is if I have asked the Ex to have the DC (which means them being there overnight), and I can't ask him to do that too often. So a bit tricky.

Sorry about your no-show, I think you're entirely right not to give him another chance. I'm always in two minds when they cancel beforehand at short notice, but to cancel there and then is pretty poor form.

I'm going to have to text C though. He has til Monday to reply of his own accord to my last text, then I have to send something (though not the mean text, I will be nice, along the lines suggested). I am rather starting to suspect I do mean sod all to him, other than being convenient, which is not a particularly cheery thought.

Velvet -do you have anyone who could "babysit" for a couple of hours? Friend, neighbour, friend/neighbour's teenager (latter is probably the best value)? I couldn't manage without a network of sitters. I have a pair of twin boys and a girl from a different family all off my street, plus another woman a bit older, plus my mum for emergency use only.

Velvet or just go out. cinema, cafe, pub, park, gallery anything... anything at all. Just to have some time together, couple of hours, just to tide you over til the next overnighter.

Yes sorry Velvet, yours are a bit older aren't they? If you're happy to leave them for an hour or two, just get out with C, doesn't matter where you go, and he can be home and in bed by eleven! I know it's not as good as a proper all nighter, but tbh I rarely get those and it seems to work out okay. You'll find a way!

Yes the DC are both in secondary school so old enough to be left safely at home for an evening. I will suggest to C that we don't have to do something which involved an overnight. Of course that would be preferable, but seeing him for a few hours is better than not seeing him at all.

Well, assuming he feels the same way of course! which I am becoming a bit sceptical about

me and BC used to do that sometimes when we didn't have much time/energy or it was just impossible to have the whole night.

He would stop off on his way to wherever he was going just for a couple of hours at the pub or at costa which is open til 8pm here. It's a good way to keep you going, keeps up the closeness and communication in between all nighters.

Hope he goes for it velvet, he possibly just hasn't thought that dates don't have to be weekend or all night.

I remember BC being a bit 'oh yeah! duh!' when I first suggested he just stop off for an hour or two.

Hmmmmmmmm

Have recently been joshing Mr Software, who is looking for a house to rent with another single dad that it 'sounded a little Men Behaving Badly', email tonight from him saying that if it is, then he ' probably need(s) a sharp-tongued girlfriend who works in the nhs '

Big no need, Mr S, no need at all.

When is the painting to be unveiled, Nora?

He's given it a 'few extra finishing touches' and because it's an oil painting it will take a couple of weeks to dry.

He wants to get the enigmatic smile of the' fallen madonna with the big boobies' just right...Kin
